SHAMASH a Knowledge-Based System for Business Process Reengineering

  • Conference paper
Book cover Applications and Innovations in Intelligent Systems VII

Abstract

In this paper we present an initial overview of SHAMASH, a process modeling tool for Business Process Reengineering. The main features that differentiate it from most current related tools are its ability to define and use organisation standards, and make automatic model simulation and optimisation of them. SHAMASH is a knowledge based system, and we include a discussion on how knowledge acquisition it should be possible, furthemore we introduce a high level description of architecture and other importants modules of the system.
